Description:
Drawing inspiration from a large-scale canvas by painter Philip Guston, this two-movement, half-hour concerto for two percussionists and orchestra uses strict notation, passages in which certain details of the score are left up to the performers, and even - for the soloists - moments of total freedom. Commissioned by BBC Radio 3, Old Shoe, New Shoe was premiered on 19 May 2019 by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under Ilan Volkov, with percussionists Joey Baron and Robyn Schulkowsky performing the solo parts.
